This 5th Generation Idol’s Controversial Night Out with Friends Sparks Controversy

Recently, a social media account on platform X, which wishes to remain anonymous, posted photos allegedly depicting Sungmin participating in a drinking session with girls.

The photos, one of which was shared by a girl who was present at the time, supposedly show Sungmin posing for the camera, with his face partially concealed but still recognizable to fans due to his iconic blond hair.

Alongside the photographs were captions implying a wild celebration involving alcohol. One caption stated, “Wow, there are couples partying in front and behind me. I’m in for a wild night,”while another questioned the amount of alcohol consumed, asking, “Can eight people really finish 30 bottles?”

If you have a conscience, you should have come to your senses when this happened. You failed to change your habits during Jimija and are doing the same thing ㅠㅠ pic.twitter.com/MuuBhrlSso

The person making the accusations did not hesitate to mention Sungmin’s alleged past wrongdoings from his youth, suggesting a history of “negative behavior.”

Ravvxco, the commenter, conveyed dissatisfaction and disappointment, remarking,

“If you have a conscience, when this matter blew up, you should’ve gotten it together. Can’t believe you are doing the same thing, unable to fix your habits from when you were a minor.”

Despite criticism from some fans who accused Sungmin of betraying the sincerity he showed during his debut on a survival show, others were left puzzled by his behavior.

Upon reading the comment, it was apparent that the person was unfamiliar with Sungmin’s identity within the group as they simply wrote, “Huh, nugu.”

If you like playing, why not keep living like this? Why do you go to entertainment and play survival games and pretend to be earnest? Are you deceiving the kids who are really earnest? https://t.co/NA6aXXu8Aq

Despite being born in 2004, Sungmin was able to reach the legal drinking age in 2023. However, the concerns raised by both fans and critics regarding the timing of the photos’ release and the depicted circumstances still remain.

The accusatory tweet has received more than 7 million views, showcasing the substantial influence of social media in such controversies.

FANTASY BOYS has faced scrutiny before, making this incident not their first. There were previous allegations that member Minseo was seen at a club right after a fansign event and music show, sparking renewed discussions about the group’s behavior beyond their public image.
